    This was really good...I used whole wheat pasta and 1/2 tbs olive oil. Next time I'll only use 2 garlic cloves :) Thanks for sharing - 8/3/10

    This rocks! I also added tomatoes, a dash or two of pepper then used half a fresh lemon. Tasted great! My husband loves alfredo and I added just half a cup to his portion (we quadrupled the serving size) . - 8/27/09

    I modified this a bit by adding a couple ounces of broiled chicken breast and a fresh tomato, diced. Regardless, this is amazingly good, particularly since I've always thought I didn't like zucchini! Thank you for submitting it. I will definitely make this again. - 2/11/09
